“Just Wow!”

She had great understanding, very kind, and helped me immensely. It was my first time using Studybay, but she was so very helpful. Overall, it was an awesome experience, impeccable work, and extremely reliable. I will definitely be recommending to my friends!

“Dissatisfied!”

Jae J.
9/18/24

I do not recommend at all. The writer was not paying attention to the details you wanted them to follow. The results turned out to have detectable AI pattern. It turned out that I will have to just do it myself. Waste of money. The customer service also has no help! Do not use studybay!

This company is absolutely horrible! I believe the high star reviews are paid reviewers because there's no way this company has 4 stars. I paid for a paper and specifically asked for a native English speaker. Because the cost is so cheap... I already had some idea that most writers were foreigners. I still selected a writer with great reviews and I was EXTREMELY disappointed. The writer did not follow my instructions at all! Wrong topic, incoherent transitions and flow... just all around horrible. They only good thing is that they honored my refund.

If i told the expert to cancel the order in ten minutes then she should cancel it right away instead of arguing on it. Also, i should get full amount refund back as i am receiving less amount as compared to what i paid which is unfair.

Very bad didn’t explain properly what i asked. She was in hurry to close the chat. Rude.

Reason I chose this business:

To get assignments done.

Hi Albert! Unfortunately, we may not refund a transaction fee as it's not charged by us but by the payment system :( However, we'll investigate the case to see what happened there. I'm so sorry you felt that way about our customer service, rest assured we'll have a conversation on that matter with our representative who spoke with you in an inappropriate way!

Service Charges too much

I am not from the States so I dont know anyone who can help improve my papers according to the standard of my professors. I googled and found Studybay. I am grateful for all the reviews that helped me choose a good writer and he charged really cheap for a great work.

I was quite hesitant to use Studybay at first but I needed a really good paper so I researched and read about their payment protection and all the guarantee so I tried it. And because of that exceptional service, I’m definitely coming back for more.

The best thing about Studybay.com is that there is no middleman. I have experienced having dissatisfied clients because of miscommunication regarding their orders in other sites and that made me leave. At Studybay, the clients contact me directly so all instructions are given clearly. I am also paid directly which is a bonus.

Amazing site. Very easy to use and THE BEST prices! CANT beat it! My writing assignment topic was on the American Dream and Obesity. Both papers were done on time and completed to satisfaction. When i had any questions regarding my account, the online chat was very helpful. Great site! Great writers! Thank You

The worse customer service ever you can get from this website. Never refund your money even they are wrong totally, they charge you a high fee from you and the writer always rude when you call or chat with them. Don't trust them

They definitely take off the work load! Writers have helped me with my papers. I never have to worry about a paper coming back messed up. I usually stick with one writer and if they give me a good paper I continue to go back to them. If you do it in advance the price is not as bad. Just knowing that you dont have to worry about you paper is another great factor.

I am usually a very industrious student, but this semester, I just had too much on my plate. A relative who lives abroad passed away so my family had to travel to pay our respects. I knew I wouldn’t have time to finish my thesis so I was left with no choice but to search for a writing website that could help me out. I came across Studybay and they managed to finish the job in time for me while providing a thoroughly researched paper.

The project was fine but what was a $32 paper turns into a $50 paper because of hidden fees. Needless to say i didn't get to use the paper because in not paying that much for something supposedly $32 and I can't even withdraw my money from my account because of verification so basically got robbed.

A person and I hired basically oh my summarized the article that he was given. He did not follow the grading criteria or include anything that needed to be in the rhetorical analysis. He did the work, which is why I'm giving two stars, but it just wasn't good work at all.

Reason I chose this business:

I had too much to do and a deadline and wanted to give it a try.

They make you pay 10$ extra for the website only to know that they also take 10$ from the person you're paying. So if the essay costs 25 you're going to pay 35 but the person gets only 14! Imagine! Oh and I have credit on my account from a refund and apparently I can only use $10 dollars at once so that I keep going back and using the website. These guys are some greedy lowlife people. Find a better website.

I am a Mathematics major in university and I never thought I would be able to find, let alone hire a freelance writer, who would be able to work on my term paper. I had an accident and was bed ridden for two weeks. That significantly decreased the time I would be able to work on my term paper. Luckily, Studybay has an excellent writer whose specialty is in the field of Mathematics and he was able to provide me with a detailed work. Thanks man.

I wanted to be a full-time homemaker so I can spend more time with my children. But as time passed by, I got bored so I decided to try online jobs that wont keep me from spending time with my kids and the household chores. Studybay is all I need, I can help students with their essays and earn money while still fulfilling my duties as a homemaker.

The service fee is a scam. Writers do not even get much of the money. When you have an online assignment it is hard to provide your login to the writers. I wish the transaction would flow better. It is also a lot of writers on there that do plagiarism and then when you ask for your money back studybay takes forever and does not put it back in your bank account.

Hello!

Thank you for sharing your experience.

That is true that the price that was set up by experts differs from the price we show to clients. The point is that we add service fee to the client's price.

I recommend this site for people with lack of time. I have a professor who loves sending assignments and I just don't have time to do them. I am an architecture student and I barely have time. It is a time saver and they deliver quality work right before due date. Thanks to StudyBay, I get excellent grades and my stress lowers.

While the expert was extremely nice and professional, the product was below average in writing style, grammar, and overall quality. Even with providing multiple reference items, the level of analysis and research was mediocre at best. It certainly was not with the over $240 I was charged for a bid that was $168.

Great Service! I have used studybay a lot but this paper to me was the best. The writer hit every detail that was given to her and it was to me earlier than the due date. I would recommend all of friends and family to this site, if they ever needed help on.

I must admit this is better than other websites I've tried. The quality of the work and response to the task it's immaculate. The bid can be a bit overwhelming. It is my first time navigating the system but other than that. I'd absolutely recommend it to a friend.

Reason I chose this business:

I work multiple jobs while pursuing my degree. I am also a single parent and some weeks I don't have all the hours I need to balance the “perfect” life. Between my children being sick and myself sick this week, Studybay was the helping hand I needed to not get behind with my school work. I was able to dedicate time to my children and not worry about this week's homework.

TheExcellentTutor did a great job on the assignment and completed on requested date and time. Price is decent and recommended for anyone who have no time to complete their coursework. They writer knew the subject and it was an A paper. They will correct your paper if there are grammars or spelling problems also.

My experience has been great so far. At first I was skeptical but once my 1st assignment was complete, I turned it in and made a 62/65 so I am very pleased and will continue to use this site until I no longer have to. Best decision ever so far.

Reason I chose this business:

Because I am not good at writing papers and I do not care for my gen ed classes.! They are a waste of time and money to me, but I have to take & pass them so therefore why not get help to do so.

I was promised and told that ill get the complete assignment. She did not cite my paper properly, and there were so many grammatical errors, I spent almost 8 hours trying to find the correct citations and fix errors. The assignment was not completed on time and i had to ask for an extension. I received C+ on my paper which was worth 30% of my mark.
